Hannibal Hamlin ana the Justice.

The oxford DemocrW relates a story
about Hannibal Hamln, When Il young
man attending school at Hebron academy,
he went to a husking party one evening.
One old fellow took rather more Medford
rum than was good for him. In fact he
became disagreeably boiSterous. At this
the school boys took otfenSe, and to bring
the old topper to his senses they peltcd
him with ears of corn. and, with more
vigOr than ceremony, rolled him IN the
huSks. The result of this treatment was,
that the old fellow left the party with
black eye and sore body. Early the next
morning all the academy boys, who at
tended the party were arrested on war
rant charging them with assault and bat
terry. Without delay they were taken be
fore the justice of the peace. who held hiS
court in an old kitchen. and who was pro-
ceeding in very pomrous manner 70 try
the case when suddenly the moor of the
apartment gave way beneath the unusual
strain. and the justice and the complain
ant. students witnesses. and spectators
together with family cat, chairs, tables
pots, pans, and a closet full of crockerY,
were prcCipitatcd IN muSS- into the cellar
The ~clf-important justice Of the peace
bcwaied his broken furniture and china
the boys finding that nobody was hurt
laughed heartily az the disaster which had
hCtallcn their prosecutors; and AT last the
court was adjourned to the academy
Here, Hannibal Hatuln, among the rest
was called upon to testify.
